  Adore it - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By NewBeetleDriver - June 28 - 12:40 am

  I adore my New Beetle. Even though Im a male, I get compliments from my other guy friends, especially after theyve driven it. Convertible a must! The only problem Ive had was the wiring harness shorted. Fortunately, the car is still under warranty, and will be back to running soon!

  Sadly Disappointed - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Curie - March 23 - 9:26 am

  Having driven a classic Beetle as a teenager, this car was a major disappointment. Three months after buying the car, the fuel pump relay died leaving me stranded at 10:00 pm. Three years after buying the car, I traded it in for a 2010 Honda Fit. The lights and radio wouldnt work when it was cold. The heater wouldnt work when the car was idling. The drivers headlight had to be replaced due to "faulty wiring". Upon acceleration or deceleration, the car would often hesitate. After a snow storm, snow would often get trapped in the wheel well causing the car to shake at speeds above 40 mph. Living in Nebraska, its important to have a reliable car.

  New Vdub rush - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Rwikerson - February 27 - 2:30 pm

  This is my first foreign car and now I get it. This car is quite impressive all around. I love this car. It is comfortable, enjoyable, affordable, even if the gas mileage isnt stellar. It sure beats my old 2006 PT Cruiser which was getting 17 mpg city. You cant help but smile when driving the Beetle. It sticks to the road and is very quick and I feel extremely safe in it even though it is a small car. Dont over think and criticize the back seat. It is more than enough. So the head room isnt excessive, I have had 4 door sedans that were just as bad. Enjoy the ride.

  Luv my Convertible - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By cathiem - January 14 - 12:13 pm

  I have had the Beetle convertible for about 1 year (not driving it in the winter months). I totally love it. It is fun, reliable and has enough pep for me. I was surprised by the amount of room in the trunk, as I expected virtually nothing. Just really really pleased. I do miss a change holder, as there is no easy place to put a few dollars.

  Dont Fall Under The Cute Spell! - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By harvestmoon - December 4 - 8:40 pm

  Fell in love with the cars look and would be a happy camper if it werent for all of the little hiccups the car had. I owned this car for 6 months. In those 6 months the top stopped working, the door locks and the cd player malfunctioned, the inside started rattling and squeaking, and the gas gauge broke. This was a 2007 NBC! If you are thinking about buying this car, please keep looking. Maybe a mini? Believe me when I say HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! If you already own one...good luck!

  Not worth it in the long run - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Dont get excited - November 17 - 1:23 pm

  A car is supposed to be a reliable transportartion and reliable it is not. Too many trips to the service department, too many recalls, too many service lights coming on worrying me about even more problems. I see likewise frustrated people at the service counter everytime I come in. Im charged an arm and a leg every time, without a guarantee that the fix will work. A 10 year old KIA has had no problems. I got too excited about aesthetics of it. But the features dont work and have to be repeatedly fixed. If only I read more reviews of long-term owners. Never another VW again. They are nice when on the dealer lot, but in reality too much trouble.

  An Excellent CAR - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By Dwest21 - April 8 - 4:03 pm

  I love this car. Its awesome. I feel safe in the b\Beetle. Its quiet, it comes with an enormous amount of standard features, and for about $20,000, you can get a really decent vehicle. This is my first VW, and Ive heard horrible rants about their warranty department, so hopefully everything will go smoothly, and nothing major will go wrong. Ive only had the car almost a month, and as of right now, I couldnt be happier! It has a great sound system, great air conditioner, great interior, is extremely comfortable, has beautiful new head-lights, the list goes on.

  Bug Time - 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle
  By KJ - March 27 - 1:06 am

  I have the 5-speed, and do enjoy the cars drive and handling. 150HP is plenty in car this size, and I have no complaints about acceleration (Go Bug, Go!). The ABS braking system and anti-skid functions seem to work well. I had several opportunities to drive it in the snow this year, and it seemed to handle that challenge quite well. Though it presents some restrictions, I do appreciate the Bugs styling, as it sets it apart from other cars its size,
